Validation: Electronic Record & Automated Data Capture Mgmt

Effective validation helps you ensure that a system does what you need it to do, and that it will function correctly, safely and reliably over time.

Companies whose products are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – must validate the software and data systems used in their engineering, manufacturing or quality processes.  This validation requirement arises from any of several regulations, depending on the company’s processes and business area:

• Electronic records and signatures regulation (21 CFR Part 11)
• Medical Device Quality System Regulation (21 CFR Part 820)
• Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (21 CFR Part 211)
• Good Clinical Practices (21 CFR Parts 312, 314 and 320 among others)
• Good Laboratory Practices (21 CFR Part 58)

Though these are specific to the FDA – regulated industry, system validation is an excellent tool for ANY organization utilizing a Quality Management System (QMS) and looking to build confidence that its information systems function as needed and as expected.

Software validation is vital to supply chain management, just as much as quality processes for raw materials or subassemblies.  If purchased software is part of your product or manufacturing process, your supply chain strategy should include choosing vendors who can provide documentation and professional services to ensure a thorough trouble free validation.

Validating a Purchased Software System Requires:

• Determining that the vendor has followed effective software development and quality processes.
• Establishing that the purchased system works in the final, installed environment and meets its intended use requirements.
